Rare Mount Drops in Draenor

Now that raiding has started and the PvP season is in full swing, you may have some time now to go check out the awesome new mount drops in the Warlords of Draenor expansion. There are 7 new rare mount drops available in Draenor currently. 6 of these rare spawns have a 100% chance to drop their respective mounts for everyone that is able to tag the rare mob that drops it. The 7th, Nok-Karosh, is different in that his mount is more rare but he is up virtually all the time - only 1 Garn Sombraullido drops so not everyone can loot one from a single kill. This mount, though, can be traded or sold on the auction house.

Due to some of the new phasing technology, there may be different instances of a single zone on the same server. If you see someone in Chat say that a rare is up but you don't see it, if you get invited to that person's group you can be phased into the same-server-alternate-phase where the mount is and kill it there. Because most of these mounts (except Nok-Karosh) behave along the same lines as personal loot, if you happen to have the corpse despawn on you or you somehow drop the phase, the Postmaster will mail you your drop. With the new group finder feature, you will often find groups camping the rare spawns or killing Nok-Karrosh.

All of the rares that drop mounts have several different spawn points, except Nok-Karosh who has a static spawn point. Wowhead user Obtains has created a fantastic map of the possible spawn locations of all the rare spawns that drop mounts.

Good luck on your mount hunting adventures!

Nakk el TronadorMacho Pezuña de Sangre is received from killing Nakk el Tronador in NagrandThis is one of seven new colors of clefthooves introduced in Warlords of Draenor. He is a deep red color. The spawn time on Nakk el Tronador appears to be, at minimum, 20 hours. This is quite a bit longer than some of the other mount rares in the lower level zones. His spawn times are effected by server restarts.

When attacking this mob, his health pool will scale up to about 15 million HP with enough people attacking it. You do not need to be grouped to win the mount. . The spawn points are near the Joz Navarix flight path in the northern part of the zone but having a group set up to camp all the spawn points is the best way to catch Nakk when he spawns.

GorokGran Colmillogrís drops from killing Gorok in Cresta Fuego Glacial.This rare is a grey boar with no armor and drops a mount in his likeness. Gorok is a level 93 elite and does not have much health. He is easily killed at level 100. Like most of the other lower level zone mount rares, he appears to have a 7-8 hour respawn timer that is not affected by server restarts.

You do not need to be grouped to obtain the mount, simply tag the mob. Gorok's spawns are spread very far across the zone so the best way to catch him up would be to have people watching at each spawn point so they can alert the zone.

LibrapuñoGronnito Pelisol drops from killing Librapuño in Gorgrond.Librapuño is one of the more popular rares to kill for his mount - a unique, rideable Gronnling! Although he is a lower level mount rare, his spawn time is longer than others (tending around 50+ hours, although that is not confirmed) and is effected by server restarts. You will often find groups camping Librapuño in the Group Finder. Due to his popularity and long respawn timer, a community of mount enthusiasts has grown around camping and killing Librapuño - Anzu is maintaining an up to date spreadsheet of confirmed US kills and Palefang is maintaining an EU kills spreadsheet as well.

Librapuño's mount is a 100% drop for all those who tag the mob and you do not need to be grouped to receive this drop. In a recent hotfix, Librapuño was given 40% more health and now scales with the number of players engaging him - this will increase your chance of getting to him in time to tag it. Librapuño has 4 spawn points near the Gronn Canyon (at Nisha's flightpath) and one in a more northern part of the zone. Due to his popularity, the Group Finder is most likely the best way to find this rare.

CienopielBestia fluvial de zafiro drops from killing Cienopiel in Talador.Cienopiel is easy to spot amongst the other riverwallows hanging out in Talador - he is blue! Cienopiel is a level 97 rare elite and is easily killed at level 100. Cienopiel is found in the waters of Talador but the spawn points are fairly spread out - they are all reachable from the Garfacielo Inuz flight point but having a mount like Riendas del zancudo acuático azur or the ability to walk on water may make it easier to access his spawn points. Reports indicate that Cienopiel's respawn timer is between 12 and 28 hours and has 5 different spawn points. His health does not scale when being attacked by more than one player, unlike other rares. In addition, Wowhead users have commented that it appears that server restarts do effect Cienopiel's spawn.

Nok-KaroshGarn Sombraullido drops from Nok-Karosh in Cresta Fuego Glacial.Nok-Karosh has a short respawn timer, about 20 minutes. This is to ensure he is repeatedly killable since only one mount drops from him per kill. This mount must be rolled on and cannot be master-looted. Unlike the other rare mount drops, you must be grouped with the person who has the tag on Nok-Karosh in order to be eligible to receive the mount. He also hits very very hard, making this fight basically a kite-zerg.

At the time of this writing, it's best to have 15-35 people in your group with as many Caballero de la Muertes as possible since Ejército de muertos (with taunts) is great for controlling the wolf adds that come with the boss. It is also useful to have lots of classes with crowd control spells like a Mage's Polymorph for the adds that are up around the boss at his spawn point. They can be crowd controlled prior to the pull. The closest flight paths are Pul Corvovento and Roark el Lobo del Aire for Horde and Brenna Brococelo for Alliance.

The only thing I'd probably add. Just because they CAN be soloed, doesn't mean you should. In fact you're kind of a *!@# if you do. Find any of the long respawn ones. Announce it, hell even list yourself in group finder with name and that it's up. Be the good person that gets 39 others a tag and mount too.

Also, for poundfist, all data supports a 48 hour minimum on respawn and at least a 48 hour spawn window so 48-96hr after any kill or restart. Phases make it a bit more difficult to track though since a heavily populated zone can spawn additional instances of same zone and EACH INSTANCE can get it's own spawn and spawn timer. The results being some higher population servers often seeing 2-3 spawns in a given spawn window. The rare spawn poundfist most resembles is poseidus, which had an even worse spawn CD of 72 hours and same 48 hour spawn window.

The best way to get ANY of these is blizzards group finder tool. You never want to really hunt these alone as the large groups can cover all spots thoroughly and also help keep you company and entertained. most of these to really get them without dumb luck involve long camps, often many hours of time investment, each. Although it's not as bad as it sounds. You can literally get 2-3 in a single night by hopping from group to group in group finder after each kill and getting involved. I got all 7 in less than a week of time. Far easier than getting even ONE of cataclysms or Wraths rare spawn mounts thanks to shared tapping and everyone who participates getting rewarded.

There's a huge rumor going around stating that the Garn Nighthowl mount drop rate is going to change to 2% and to obtain it will be along the same lines as the other rare creatures. \r\rAs far as I can tell, I haven't been able to really find a source or a blue post regarding the above information. Do we have any information about this? I think a better clarification would be great so we can put a stop to the rumors. I have yet to get Garn into my mount collection and if this is the case, then dang, I better get to it!\r\rFrom the past experience with Garn, a lot of people use the Master Loot with the List system. For me it worked out pretty well except for the fact that it got so late that I had to bail because of work. I was 3rd in line to get him, so yeah it was a bit disappointing lol! \r\rBut anyway, a little clarification on this would be excellent! :D

If you're Horde, you'll be able to use your Call to Arms ability against Nok-Karosh as well - it's a really valuable asset in the fight and makes it far easier than when going for him as a group of Alliance. Not that everyone has a Horde toon at Draenor level, I realise that, but if you do happen to have one then using him\/her to farm the mount with is something definitely worth considering.

"Silthide is a level 97 rare elite and is easily killed at level 100." \rThis sort of implies it can be easily solo'd, which it isn't given his 2.3m hp. Sure it's possible, but only by a few classes.

Nok can be 4maned, the only class need it are hunter(trap-tame-dismiss adds) and rogue(runner tank), then as many dps doing 5k+ dps

I'll probably refer to this when I get bored enough to farm mounts. Until then I guess I could try to find some while leveling. I found one already so... :P

Honestly I think this is a lie, and it's to advertise to tempt getting people into the Garn Nighthowl groups... kinda like would you join the group that's saying 'need more' or the one saying 'GARN GONNA BE GONE ANY SEC OMG GET IN HERE FREE MOUNT' lol... I have actually seen people claiming the whole nerfed 2% drop rate since the BEGINNING of farming this mount... if Blizzard was going to nerf this, it would have been nerfed already you'd think. The saddest part is, when I ran with the few groups who stated the 2% droprate nerf that was to be 'THAT VERY next morning...' they quit midway through the 'list runs', so only a few people got the mount and then they bailed, so I think it is to cover their own hide and as an excuse to leave early, bailing on the rest of the people. This is my personal opinion, from what I have experienced, I'd suggest sticking with non-fake groups that claim the whole 2% thing, because that seems like the first lie to get what they want and leave you and the rest of the people hanging.

I had good luck with a Garn group doing list loot. My advice is to look for groups that have been active for longer. The one I joined was being operated by a guy that had gotten it hours before I got there, he had stuck around to keep it honest. Was 22 in line, and stuck around for the player after me.

Nok-Karosh can be two-manned by using the combat-capable talbuks from the garrison Stables quests. Talbuks allow you to cast while moving, but only have a five minute duration and cannot be re-summoned during combat, so you'll need two players to trade threat back and forth. \r\rHaving a hunter with Aspect of the Cheetah helps; the speed bonus stacks with the talbuk, and if you get hit, you die anyway. There may be a bug with hunters on talbuks that they cannot dismount until the mount timer runs out.\r\rThreat cannot be properly held while fighting on a talbuk, so any interference by a player on foot will result in them getting immediate aggro and dying.\r\rIf you want proof of this before you go through the effort of getting a talbuk of your own, here's a video of it.\rhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Utculj5RMPA\r\rLucidric and I(Marameko, Sentinels server) do this regularly to help people who got shafted with raid groups get their mount. If you still need yours, drop me a line.

For Nok'Karosh is best to use your Garrison ability (archers and melees) to do some more dmg !

I found Gorok while doing my pet daily the other day. Instead of killing him alone and getting the mount, I started a group in the group finder, and invited other 39 people to join and get him. No one tagged him before everyone was there, it was a sight to behold, courtesy in WoW!

I am fine with these rares dropping for everyone that killed them, but I can't deny it takes away some of the magic that the other rares like the Time-Lost Proto Drake or Aeonaxx had. I play WOW for these types of mounts, the first thing I did in WOTLK was to camp the TLPD for 15 days until I got him, I then camped Aeonaxx for 56 days(during this time I saw 3 low levels accidently come by Aeonaxx) during Cataclysm's launch and proceeded to do the same for Poseidus (1 week) and the Grey Camel. In MOP I farmed Alani's mount for 1 straight week and the excitment you felt when you finally got one of these mounts is indiscribable. Sure, there was a lot of tension and you would feel down whenever low level players casually found them, but it made everything more rewarding in the end.

Now, I tried making things harder for myself by solo camping these rares and in total it took me 9 days to get them all. But other than Poundfist (which involved some sleepless nights), every other rare was a piece of cake to get and I just didn't feel that instant gratification when I looted them. I wish Blizzard could have made at least one of them harder to get, Aeonaxx style, for more hardcore campers (no personal loot and shared spawn with another mob). The way things are now, I am pretty sure someone jumping from group to group can easily get them all in 2-3 days.

Notice there are no flying mounts on the list. I seriously doubt we see any flying allowed in WoD.
